Today is a day of rest. We are just hanging out at NGEST, which has a new name, "Africa International University." Much better name. We are staying at Elizabeth and Sam Ngewa's home on the campus. Sam actually isn't here. He had to go home to his village because an uncle died. But Elizabeth is fun and we are having good theological discussions with her. She also is a good cook!
I am feeling better. My cousin Sheila's sister is a nurse in Nairobi. She knows all the good docs and she sent me to a good surgeon. He said the conservative approach is best and so he gave me some new medication that is already helping. Thanks for your prayers.
Here are some pictures for you to show we are still alive. By the way is anyone reading this!? Please let us know YOU are alive!
